Dispatches from Italy: Arrival in Torino

Day one in the books.  Upon arrival into Turin I was met by the real winter New York has been spared – negative -7 degrees Celsius (19F).   After making our way into town and getting settled, we set out on foot to explore and find a much-needed espresso.  What is probably the most quiet of cities along our route, Turin proved to be very rewarding and being on a grid made finding our way around really easy.  After getting little to no sleep on the way over, I was just happy my eyes were open at the end of the day.
